July 7:  The Joy of Service.

Ready to Spend and Be Spent.
I will gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.--2 Corinthians 12:15, NKJV

HOWEVER TRYING THEIR LABOR, the true workers do not regard it as drudgery.  They are ready to spend and to be spent; but it is a cheerful work, done with a glad heart.  Joy in God is expressed through Jesus Christ.  Their joy is the joy set before Christ--"to do the will of Him that sent Me, and to finish His work."  John 4:34.  They are in co-operation with the Lord of glory.  This thought sweetens all toil, it braces the will, it nerves the spirit for whatever may befall.  Working with unselfish heart, ennobled by being partakers of Christ's sufferings, sharing His sympathies, and co-operating with Him in His labor, they help to swell the tide of His joy and bring honor and praise to His exalted name.

This is the spirit of all true service for God....

And however short our service or humble our work, if in simple faith we follow Christ, we shall not be disappointed of the reward....Blessed will be the recompense of grace to those who have wrought for God in the simplicity of faith and love.--Christ's Object Lessons, 402, 403, 404.

                 "But take careful heed to do the commandments and the law
                     which Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you,
                        to love the Lord your God, to walk in all His ways,
                           to keep His commandments, to hold fast to Him,
                   and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul."
                                                                              --Joshua 22:5, NKJV
